Wayne Hughes, the biggest donor in USC history ($400-450 million), sat next to another major donor, Brian Kennedy, in an LSU suite at the Superdome last night. Getting Hughes to come to the game was another masterclass move by Ed Orgeron. I hear Hughes also brought his usual companion, former USC football player Al Cowlings. Imagine the two most prominent USC athletic donors sitting at … Continue reading USC’s Biggest Donor Ever . . . Goes To LSU Game

Did anyone listening to Mike Bohn last night buy whatever he was selling? Probably. There’s always someone. I don’t get what he is saying about the Coliseum. He went to one game (UCLA) in a half-empty stadium. Worse, this was during the LSU-Clemson game. Did anyone ask about Clay Helton? FYI: This was at Rolling Hills Country Club for the Trojan Golf Classic, which raises … Continue reading USC Morning Video: Mike Bohn Speaks To Boosters

Five former USC coaches just won a national title and a ring (Ed Orgeron, John Robinson, Kenechi Udeze, Tommie Robinson, James Cregg). They all left or were fired from USC. Meanwhile, USC continues to have Clay Helton to ensure mediocrity. What is Pat Haden thinking tonight? Someone needs to send a search party to find him? But don’t forget J.K. McKay, Mark Jackson and Steve … Continue reading LSU National Champs Thoughts

LSU takes the lead, 21-17. Nice job of the Pac-12 refs to not see the guy touch out of bounds. Clemson is off to a flying … Continue reading LSU-Clemson Chat

Another quick story regarding Brian Kennedy, the booster in the news who called the USC football program “dogshit” on Saturday night. There used to be a scoreboard at Howard Jones Field that Kennedy donated and bore his name. But when Pat Haden — who had a falling out with Kennedy — was athletic director the scoreboard was mysteriously torn down and replaced with a smaller, … Continue reading Brian Kennedy’s Comments Were A Long Time Coming

LSU isn’t the only team with USC ties. Clemson offensive lineman Trymayne Anchrum is the son of former USC basketball player of the same name. Now here is something for USC coaches: Anchrum was a three-star offensive guard and ranked the No. 73 player in the state of Georgia. And yet, Anchrum was a first-team All-ACC and second-team All-ACC in 2018. Imagine that? A player … Continue reading Clemson Has USC Connections Too
